First Post-- Why I'm Obsessed with Microgreens!
Hey guys! Josephine here 🧑‍🌾
I wanted to kick off this discussion by sharing my little adventure into growing microgreens. What started as a business quickly turned into an obsession once I discovered all the health benefits! Now, I’m planning to grow a tray or two for my family forever because they’ve been such a game-changer for us.
So, something I didn’t realize at first is how much gut health matters for your overall well-being 🦠💚. Your gut, with all its bacteria (aka the microbiome), plays a huge role in your immune system, digestion, and even mood. That’s why I’ve started paying way more attention to what I’m feeding my gut, and microgreens are a major part of that!
These tiny greens are packed with immune-boosting vitamins (A, C, and E) that are especially important as it gets colder ❄️. Plus, they’re full of fiber to keep your digestive system happy and antioxidants to protect your body from sickness. And they taste amazing! 🌱 Whether it’s pea shoots, broccoli, or radish, microgreens have made it super easy for me to add fresh, nutrient-packed plants to my meals every week.
I’ve struggled with food and diet culture growing up (I’m sure some of you can relate). So recently, I gave up “dieting” and focused on healing my gut instead. Microgreens have become my go-to veggie, helping me get 20+ different plants into my meals each week! 🌿 Little by little, I’m aiming for more, and I’m already feeling a huge difference in my energy, mood, and focus. Who knew gut health and brain health were so connected?!
If you’re already growing microgreens or just thinking about starting, I’d love to hear what you’ve tried! Drop your tips or favorite recipes in the comments, or feel free to ask questions if you’re just getting started. 🌱💬
In case you want to do some of this research yourself, here's the articles and podcasts I recommend!
